noisia indeed do rule at everything EXCEPT DUBSTEP. as far as I am concerned they're the best producers out there (not only dnb mind you!) but from what I've heard from their attempts at dubstep, they have no clue what the sound is about. However they might have been working on dubstep since I forged this opinion so feel free to point out to me where I could find their latest dubstep works.

thats true actually, i heard their dubstep(ish) tune and its their only tune that hasnt impressed me, it's really dry and not very creative.
i get the feeling that maybe that tune wasnt made with "lets make dubstep" in mind though, more like "lets make something on a plodding tip"

exactly, sort of sounds like they consider dubstep just slowed down dnb, which it isn't, and which became the reason their 'dubstep' works don't live up to the fame of their name.

For me, nosia is more about the sounds and the engineering than the composition... so the tempo or genre is irrelevant. This is a good release. For dnb.
And the album art makes me want to touch my bits.

I don't get the hype? Its all a bit samey with their stuff, I can say though that their sounds & production is quite stunning but I'd probably never buy any of their stuff

TBH, I don't really rate 99% of the stuff that I am hearing that comes from former DnB producers. For the most part, if they were big DnB PRODUCERS, they suck at Dubstep production almost invariably. There are instances of the good stuff, but let's count them on one hand and move on.
Nothing Noisia has ever touched is good.

errrr what mate?
very narrow minded of you...their production is absolutely stunning, better than anyone in dubstep by a country mile im afraid to say. can you even name any noisia dubstep tunes? not counting 'square feet' which isnt meant to be dubstep anyway, it's just a downtempo bit they did.
their drum and bass, although maybe not your flavour, is incredibly wide spectrum (contrast, say, 'diplodocus' with 'creep out' for 2 recent tunes) and some of the eelctro/breaks theyre doing is so sick.
it's all about 'split the atom':

These two tracks are drum & bass, its not noisia trying to do dubstep. Listen before replying.

Then why isn't it in the OTHER MUSIC forum? Not Dubstep, goes in the NOT dubstep forum.
